finished messages. If you are using IMAP, the IMAP folders are listed below the local
folders. Each incoming mail server has its folders in the Folder list.

format of the new folder.
Right-click the folder for a context menu offering several folder operations. Click Expire
to specify the expiration date for read and unread messages, what should happen with
them after expiration, and whether expired messages should be deleted or moved to a
folder. If you intend to use the folder to store messages from a mailing list, set the
necessary options under Folder > Mailing List Management.
To move one or several messages from one folder to another, drag them from the upper
window and drop them into the appropriate folder in the left window. Messages can
also be moved by highlighting the messages then pressing M or selecting Message >
Move to. In the list of folders that appears, select the folder to which to move your
messages.
4.2.6 Filters
Filters are a convenient method of automatically processing incoming mail. They use
aspects of the mail, such as sender or size, to move mail to certain folders, delete un-
wanted mails, bounce mails back to the sender, or perform a number of other actions.
Setting Up a Filter
To create a filter from scratch, select Settings > Configure Filters. To create a filter
based on an existing message, right-click the desired message then select Create Filter
and the desired filter criteria.
Select the match method for filter criteria (all or any). Then select criteria that applies
only to the desired messages. In Filter Actions, set what the filter should do to the
messages that meet the criteria. Advanced Options provides control over when the filter
is applied and whether additional filters should be considered for these messages.
